That Was Then and This Is Now

Where has the time gone? The Year is flying by and it seems like my class is just getting into Flash. In trying to get caught up, students are going back to make sure that all the info on the team pages is caught up. Several need to complete questions, some uploads, and some all of the above.

I am glad I have had Corey's help this year. He is good at showing students how to really get into Flash. With his help, my digital projector and the Smart Board, the students are able to create buttons, create animation, create animated cursors, and even merge their team mate's scenes into one flowing Flash file.

Last week students were asked to go back and update all the "stuff" they missed on their team pages and start to create the first level of play in their game. I am still wondering how a couple of the games are going to develop (or if they can develop). The Trandon Berrys are working on a cool drag-and-drop periodic table and hopefully aspects of the drag-and-drop can even be used on the game being developed by the DumDum Football Players.

All in all, progress is key!
